I want a touring holiday in Italy but visa rules want pre-paid hotel bookings. Any solution?

Q. Schengen Visa form states hotel bookings must be booked and paid in advance. How can one therefore have a touring holiday stopping off as and when an interesting place found?

A. do u have any relatives in italy or people that u know? cause if u do `then u can tell the embassy ur staying at their place and u don't need to go to a hotel...that's what i always do....

A. You need to see a real travel agent where you live that is familiar with the visa applicaiton process. They can also book flights and hotels and give you printed copies of the reservations without you having to pay up-front.
